The Kid's Triathlon is a race that consists of three main events: Swimming, Cycling, & Running. (in that order) Kids start the race with the swimming event in the St. Albans City Pool. Then they'll run to the transition area, put on their bike helmets and shoes (and anything else they need). They will ride a bike course through the St. Albans City School Parking Lot. No vehicular traffic will be allowed in the lot during that time. After the bike event, they'll head back to the transition area, and do the final leg of the triathlon- a run on the St. Albans City School fields. Although this is a competitive event, the focus is on fun, fun, fun! There will be 4 age groups and each will be divided by gender. This is an opportunity for kids to participate in an enjoyable life experience through athletics. The objective is to encourage self confidence, good health and community spirit through participation. $25 for residents, $35 non-residents.
